Question

a scalene triangle has an area of 20.335 square centimeters. the height of the triangle is 8.3 centimeters. what is the length of its base?

Answer 1

Area of triangle = (1/2)*base*height

20.335 = (1/2)*base*8.3

2*20.335 = base*8.3

(2*20.335) / 8.3 = base          Use your calculator.

4.9 = base

base = 4.9cm
